By default, gcc generates software floating point, so for this particular case no additional command line options are needed.
Using -mfloat-abi=softfp indeed creates binaries compatible with Debian (soft-float) since the function calling convention uses standard registers and stack for passing floating point arguments rather than VFP registers. The VFP (hard-float) instructions are not emulated by the kernel (only the older FPA but they are no longer used by Debian armel), though much of the support for emulation is already in there. Currently, the kernel generates a SIGILL if such VFP instruction is encountered and the CPU doesn't support it. -- armel gcc default optimisations https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303232 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
